Lašče - Sveti Peter

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Novo Mesto, take the exit Ivančna Gorica and continue in the direction of Žužemberk and Črnomelj. Just after Žužemberk, in Dvor, leave the main road and turn right towards Kočevje. After the bridge over the Krka River, the road starts to climb steeply, and we follow it to the village of Lašče, where we park in the parking lot opposite the local inn.
b) From the Border crossing Obrežje - Ljubljana motorway, take the exit Novo Mesto - east, and we continue to the above-mentioned place. From Novo Mesto we continue in the direction of Straža, Soteska and later Žužemberk. When you reach Dvor, turn left and continue driving towards Kočevje. After the bridge over the Krka River, the road starts to climb steeply and we follow it to the village of Lašče, where we park in the parking lot opposite the local inn.

Path description:
A little further on from the inn, a forest road branches off to the left, along which you can see signs for the European Footpath E7. Take this road, which soon loses its asphalt coating and continues to climb moderately through the forest. At a crossroads, continue along the road on the left, where you will see signs for St Peter's. The road then lays down and leads us out of the forest to a larger clearing called Oražem. After the clearing we come to a crossroads where, next to a hunting observation post, we see a sign for St Peter directing us to the road on the right. Although the signs point to the right, we continue on the lower left road, along which we follow the signs (it is also possible to continue on the right road). The left road then completely lays down, or even begins to descend gently after a while. Follow the above-mentioned road to the crossroads where the marked path from Podgozd joins from the left. Here, at the cross-route station No 8, continue along a slightly steeper road on the right, from which a marked footpath soon branches off to the left, crossing a recently abandoned road at a higher level. Continue on cart track, which climbs past the next cross and gradually turns into a pleasant wodland path. Cross the road again at a higher level, and continue along cart track, which here again turns into a footpath, leading to a mesh fence at a higher level. The path, which climbs first moderately and then steeply along the fence, is followed all the way to the top of St Peter's Hill, where there is a small shelter and a wooden lookout tower.
